The Importance and Excellence of Salah
with the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. A complaint was lodged against him to the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and upon this, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “His salah will prevent him from these evils one day.” Hence, very soon after, he repented and became a better person.[1]
A thief became a saint due to the blessing of salah
Let us listen to an amazing story in this regard:
It is mentioned that a thief entered the house of Sayyidatunā RābiꜤah al-Baṣriyyah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْهَا at night. He searched through the whole house but could not find anything except for a vessel.
When he intended to leave, she said: “If you are a smart thief, then you will not leave empty handed.”
“I could not find anything”, he responded.
She replied: “O poor man! Perform wudu using this vessel, enter the room and offer two units of salah. You will leave from here with something.”
He performed wudu as per her instructions. When he stood for salah, Sayyidatunā RābiꜤah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْهَا supplicated in the following manner: “O Allah Almighty! This man came to my house but could not find anything. Now, I have made him stand in Your court. Do not deprive him of Your grace and mercy.”
When he completed his salah, he experienced the joy of worship. Therefore, he remained engaged in offering salah until the last part of the night.
